It’s not actually late autumn yet, but the first snow this year came very suddenly.
There was still a little bit of sunlight visible during the day, but at night, the temperature dropped sharply, and ordinary people soon felt a chill coming over them.
Some locals and passers-by like to have a drink at places like inns and pubs during dinner time. They exchange cups and drinks. The hot wine burns down the throat and into the stomach. I wonder if it can really keep warm. But most of the people who were drinking were red in the face, probably because they were getting cooked.
"Master Xiao Liu is here, would you like to have a drink here?"
"I haven't seen Mr. Liu for a few days. Why are you in the mood to come out today?"
"Does Mr. Liu know that it's getting cold, and he doesn't feel happy to go out looking for a drink without a wife to warm him?"
"Xiao Liuye will be thirteen this year? You have to hurry up when you are looking for a wife. There are not many girls in our 'Bugui' city, so they are in high demand. The girl next door to my house was already proposed for marriage before she was even born. If you don't hurry up, you will be in danger. It’s too late.”
"Xiao Liuye, I guess by the time you get married, you won't be able to find any unmarried girls in the city. Why don't you go to my sixth uncle's house to propose marriage? Then wait until my sixth uncle gets a wife and gives birth to a girl. Will it be kept for you when the time comes?"
"Get out of your way, Mr. Six. Mr. Six is nineteen this year. Wife? Are you kidding me? If Mr. Six wants to find a wife, whoops, which girl in the city doesn't want to marry me? A bunch of cowards. Damn it, if you’re a man, why don’t you dare to drink it at home?”
As soon as a young man in civilian clothes entered the lobby of the inn, he was teased by many local diners. The young man was not angry. He stood by the door of the inn and stretched himself. He glanced around the lobby and then took a picture. Clap your hands and walk all the way to the second floor.
Along the way, young people were either grabbing peanuts from one table or chicken drumsticks from another table. Everyone was yelling and scolding, but everyone who scolded them had a smile on their face.
On the second floor, near the window not far from the stairs, five people were sitting around an Eight Immortals table.
Among them was an old man, two girls, a boy and a young man.
At this moment, the young man was holding a wine glass and filling it up for the young man. The young man had a sad look on his face, and he couldn't accept it or not.
The pretty girl drank wine, her face as red as a peach blossom.
But the good-looking boy's face turned red and hot after drinking. People said it was a monkey's butt that can pancakes.
"A question for the three of you. Do you know why this city is called the City of No Return?" The young man wore a scarf, a feather fan was placed by the table, and the packages on the stool next to him were filled with books. On a whim, he asked the question: The meaning of three teenagers.
Yun Tianfeng shook his head cautiously. This brother Murong had a changeable personality. He was neurotic at one moment, and like a scholar at another. He was unpredictable and moody.
The young senior sister from Feiyun Martial Arts School with twin ponytails clapped her head on the table and spoke enthusiastically: "Brother Murong, I know, I know."
"Oh? Tell me."
"I heard Master say that about sixty years ago, this was the border of Feiyun Kingdom. That year, the neighboring dynasty suffered from drought and famine, and countless people starved to death. However, Feiyun Kingdom happened to have a good harvest. , so a war for plunder broke out."
"I heard that at that time, the dynasty next door was much larger than it is now. The population base was more than ten times that of Feiyun Kingdom. There were countless people who could conquer and fight well. Feiyun Kingdom even almost suffered annihilation."
"At that time, an epic battle broke out in this border city. It was like a millstone. For more than a year, countless soldiers from both countries came in alive, and the urns went out, and outside the city There are densely packed graves without tombstones within a radius of twenty to thirty miles."
"So from that moment on, this city that was originally built temporarily for defense had the name 'No Return', which means that almost everyone who comes to this city will never return alive."
The scholar nodded with satisfaction and gave Jiang Chuyao an affirmative look. The little girl suddenly felt as if she had drunk two more kilograms of roasted knives, and her face turned even redder.
"And thirty miles away, how many people must have died!" Yun Tianfeng looked out the window. There was pitch black in the distance, and he could only see patches of snowflake soldiers landing on the beach outside the window, never coming back.
The scholar poured himself a drink and said: "I heard that the Wang family, the number one Jianghu family in Feiyun City, had six generations, a total of 1,346 people, and all of them took the initiative to join the city of No Return during the years of war. Even if Children as young as six or seven years old are standing on the tower with fire sticks and roaring. Now, there is only one young marquis left alive in the entire Wang family, and he is also the only hereditary and irreplaceable marquis in the entire Feiyun Kingdom."
"So there is such a story. It's a pity that I don't know this young prince. Otherwise, I would treat him to a drink, give him a thumbs up and say a few words of admiration!" Murong Yu burped from wine and raised his thumb. thumb.
"Who? Which girl wants to invite Mr. Liu to drink with me?"
Suddenly, as soon as Murong Yu finished speaking, a head emerged from the stairs.
The young man looked at the people at the table here. One had a single ponytail and the other had a double ponytail. They were all very good-looking. My dear, you can still see a girl like this in this city of No Return. I’m afraid it’s not true. A fairy daughter who fell from the sky, right?
After jogging for a while, the young man came to the table, pushed his butt in, and forced Yun Tianfeng, who was sitting next to him, to the side of the stool. Then he grabbed the corners of the table with both hands, and his hands were turned white. He couldn't turn his eyes away, and he was stuck in place. , the soul is floating in front.
At this moment, there were only two beauties left in this young man's world, and nothing else.
"Who are you?" everyone at the table asked in unison.
"Me? Mr. Liu, I am the current head of the Wang family, and so is Wang Xiaoliu. I am hereditary and irreplaceable. I am the real little marquis. How old are the two fairies? Are they getting married? Are they interested?"
"Hey..." The whole table sighed.
"Hey, why is there an old man and two ugly men?"
"Hey..." Another table sighed.
"Eh, that's not right. Little brother, Sixth Master, I see that there are dark clouds over your head. I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster tonight. For the sake of these two fairies, please call me Sixth Brother. Sixth Master will keep you safe tonight. Is this a decent deal?"
"No, thank you."
"Hey, this brother, does he look like he is in his early thirties? Judging by his attire, he is probably not a scholar who studies? Mr. Liu, there is someone in my court. Please call me Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu will introduce you and ensure that your career will be smooth sailing?" "
"A scholar? Haha..." Murong Jue's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot after being called a scholar for wearing clothes that only Tanhualang could wear.
If I had known earlier, I would have stopped praising the Wang family and showing off my knowledge as food and wine. I was really asking for trouble for myself.
Wang Xiaoliu was enthusiastic and unrestrained. After working hard for a while, no one at the table was willing to talk to him. He gradually lost interest. He just regretted in his heart that these two beautiful fairies were so cold and boring.
"Forget it, I've just drank two glasses of wine from you. Mr. Liu is not a cold-blooded person. I would like to advise you to leave the city at night. If it's too late, you won't be able to leave."
Wang Xiaoliu said and went downstairs. When he walked out of the inn, he stopped to look at the night sky in the distance. He took a deep breath and led the two attendants straight to the city with cold eyes.
Outside the east gate of the City of No Return, white snow was falling, and it was originally quiet, but at this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded like thunder, bamboo hats and raincoats were worn for night travel, and scimitars and cold swords were filled with demonic energy.
A group of more than a hundred people walked to the foot of the city tower, reined in their horses and stopped.
"I'm sorry, everyone, there is a rule in Bugui City. You are not allowed to enter the city at night." The ancient city gate covered with sword marks has long been closed. Only at the city tower, a bohemian young man jumped up with a square-shaped painted halberd. Down.
"court death!"
Among the cavalry of more than a hundred people, one person shouted coldly, jumped up from his horse with a roar of murderous intent, and with a loud roar, he flipped in mid-air, and when he landed, he turned into a tall and powerful demonic wolf. The bloodthirsty fangs were exposed in the dark night of flying snow.
The giant wolf swooped down like a mountain and hit the young man on the head outside the city gate. However, the young man did not rush or slow down. He drew a half circle with his toes and bent his body backwards like a long bow. With a "collapse" sound, Fang Tian The painted halberd shot out with another 'bang' sound, blood rain flew, and Fang Tian's painted halberd bounced back.
The young man held the euphorbia firmly in one hand and yawned: "It's hard to persuade the damn ghost. He wants to enter the city. How about you guys come back tomorrow?"
Ho ho ho ho...
However, in the face of the young man's advice, these more than a hundred people dismounted in unison. Amidst the roar, their bodies swelled up and turned into demon wolves with scarlet eyes, cold claws, and icy demon wolves. The air continued to spread along the ground, and it was actually colder than the blood falling from the sky.
"There are more people than your Sixth Master?"
The young man at the foot of the tower put his fingers in his mouth and whistled.
Immediately afterwards, black shadows appeared on the top of the city. At a rough look, there were nearly a thousand shadows.
Rumble...
But at this moment, there was another earthquake outside the city, and another large person came on the other road leading to the east city gate.
After these people arrived, they just glanced at it and immediately stopped. They gathered not far away without advancing or retreating, as if they were waiting for the Demonic Wolf Mountain Demon Cultivator who arrived first to fight with the people and horses guarding the city. Win or lose.
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly and made a tut-tsk sound from his mouth. In the darkness farther away, he could see some moving firelights in the distance. They were probably some people who were coming. The first group of people hadn't been sent away yet. It seems that there are already more and more people gathering together.
"Brother, something is not good. There are more people than I thought. How about we withdraw?"
"Retreat, this is the City of No Return. I don't know what retreat means. Now that we've agreed, let's do it."
"It's just that I'm afraid that the scar on my head is no bigger than a bowl. I have long missed the brothers who left first."
The cold wind is blowing, and the world of mortals is like one dye vat after another. The people in one vat can never understand the rules of another vat.
It's like every vat is a way of life, a time when people are divided into groups.
It was as if the young man who had arrived at the corner of the tower at some point couldn't figure out why.
